Do you need room for a gym or an office? Maybe your children are growing up and you need a new bedroom? Or perhaps you want to earn more from you house by renting out a spare room? Maybe you simply want to maximise the value of your home.
With house prices in England and Wales continuing to rise and showing no signs of slowing down more and more people are turning to loft and garage conversions to maximise their space and increase the value of their homes.
If you have a loft that’s empty or a garage full of old boxes and you need more room then a conversion could be the perfect solution. You can stay in your own house, it’s cheaper than building an extension and on average it only takes 6 weeks. There are three major benefits to a loft or garage conversion:
Adding value
A loft or garage conversion can significantly increase the value of your home. Recent findings suggest a loft conversion can increase the price by up to 20%! This is because by converting a loft or garage to an extra room you are increasing the amount of habitable floor space per square foot.
Adding room, not taking it away
Other solutions, for instance adding an extension, may increase your habitable space but they take space away from external areas such as your garden or patio. Loft or garage conversions transform existing areas that are not being used into extra habitable space without taking away from your outside space.
Avoiding planning permission
Adding an extension or other additional features will normally require planning permission because you are changing the external appearance of your home. Loft and garage conversions often don’t require planning permission because all the work takes place inside the building. This saves you time, cost and lots of red tape.
